Bespoke Kitchens in Putney
Few London rooms are perfectly square, and we scribe the furniture to follow the walls. Our work on bespoke kitchens in Putney starts with a design visit, and everything is built in our workshop.
- A kitchen planned around your appliances
- Open shelves with cupboards below
- A kitchen that fits an uneven room
Bespoke kitchens designed for your room
Flats, conversions and lettings
We also make and fit furniture for landlords furnishing a let. It’s made from the same moisture-resistant MDF and birch plywood as any of our work, finished by spray or by hand.
Some blocks ask for notice before trades arrive, often through a building manager or concierge. Lifts sometimes need to be booked, and the lift size helps decide how big each section can be. Mention it when you get in touch.
Bespoke kitchens in Putney
Some kitchens suit a dresser, with cupboards below and open shelves above, and it suits many period homes. Each dresser is made for its wall, scribed to follow it and painted to suit the room. If your home has a kitchen island with room around it and a layout for a small or awkward room, that’s what kitchens are for, made from MDF made to resist moisture and birch plywood, then spray-painted or hand-painted.
Around Putney, where many homes date from the post-war decades, the kitchen may be a galley or a small separate room. Taking cabinets up to the ceiling and adding a tall larder makes a big difference. Cabinets are made from moisture-resistant MDF or birch plywood, with the finish agreed in your quote.
The written quote puts the design visit in writing: the layout, what goes inside, the materials used and the finish. If something isn’t quite right, tell us before anything is made.

Why bespoke in Putney?
Choosing bespoke means a design visit, a quote, workshop time and fitting, rather than ordering from a range. In return, the storage, layout and finish are designed for you. Concrete and block walls can make it hard to fix ready-made furniture securely, whereas fitted pieces are designed with fixings that suit the wall. That matters for tall units and loaded shelves.
Your quote is written for your room once we’ve visited and measured. Size, the number of doors and drawers and the internal fittings make the biggest difference to the price.

When is bespoke worth it?
Long shelves are where off-the-shelf often struggles. Span, depth and the weight on it decide whether a shelf sags, so a long run needs a thicker shelf, a stiffening lip or a support. That’s something we plan for in the design.
The real difference is in the fit: edges scribed to the wall, a level base on a sloping floor and a neat line where the furniture meets the ceiling. Off-the-shelf furniture cannot usually do that in an older room.
FAQs: bespoke kitchens in Putney
Will a conservation area stop me having bespoke kitchens fitted in Putney?
Not normally. Conservation area controls are largely about how buildings look from outside, so fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. If your home is listed, works inside that affect its character may need listed building consent, so check with the council first. If you’re unsure, the council can confirm.
How do you fit bespoke kitchens in a flat in Putney?
At the design visit, we measure the way in along with the room itself. The furniture is made in sections that fit the stairs and lift, and put together in the room. It’s useful to check any building rules and your lease before fitting day.
What are the kitchen cabinets made of?
Moisture-resistant MDF for painted doors and panels, and birch plywood where strength matters. The finish is spray painted in our workshop or hand painted, in colours you choose.
What happens when you come to measure?
We measure the space and discuss the design, materials and finish. We also check the walls and floors and note radiators, sockets and other things in the way, then send a written quote.
How are bespoke kitchens priced?
There’s no price list: each design is priced in writing after we’ve seen the space. A small galley and a large kitchen with a larder and island are very different jobs, so we quote once we have measured. To get started, tell us about the room on our contact form.
How long does fitting take?
It depends on the kitchen. How long fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and your quote sets out the fitting days.
Boards, parts and paint
Hand-painted finish
Hand painting gives a softer, traditional look in an older home.
Birch plywood
Deep pan drawers need a strong box, so birch plywood is a good choice.
Kitchens in Putney: local notes
In the area around Putney, the largest groups of homes date from between 1945 and 1972 (about 32%) and before 1919 (about 28%), based on the Valuation Office Agency’s 2025 council tax data. It’s a good starting point, though every room is still measured, as two homes of the same age rarely match. Part of Putney is in the West Putney Conservation Area, according to Historic England’s records. Being in a conservation area mainly affects changes to the outside of a building, and fitted furniture inside a house doesn’t normally need planning permission. The council can confirm if you are not sure. Around a third of the homes in the streets around Putney (about 32%) were built between 1945 and 1972, on the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures for 2025. Post-war kitchens are often compact, so cabinets made to the room’s exact widths make the most of it.
If your home is as old as some of the listed buildings nearby, such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, original features like shutters, panelling and fireplaces are worth designing around. If your own home is listed, check with the council before fixing into original features. For an older house near Polish Church of St John the Evangelist, tall ceilings can take larder cupboards right up to the top. If your children go to Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School or a school nearby, a drawer set aside for lunch boxes and water bottles keeps mornings calmer.

Fitting day, step by step
On the morning of the fitting, we start by protecting your floors and the route from the front door to the room. The sections made in our workshop come in next, one at a time. How long fitting takes depends on how many units there are and how the room is laid out, and we confirm the fitting days in your quote. Post-war homes often have concrete or block walls, so fixings are chosen for the wall on fitting day. Floors and doorways are protected while the sections come in, and the pieces are assembled in the room.
